I'm in ketchikan and if anyone has any old tired spoons and flashers I'd love to pick them up from you and get them out of the way. I'm working on a project to refurbish them over this coming winter and redistribute them to the fleet. If you have any especially old favorites that you can even lend so I can bring the scheme back to life I'd appreciate it.

P.S. ever tried to sandblast and grind 300 spoons at a time? ;)

Bill,
Greetings from Oregon. My partner boat and I have lots of old spoons that need refinishing. They are all the old USA made Luhr Jensen ones in popular sizes and types lith Katchman, Tom Mack, Emerald, Martin Katchmor, Andy Reeker, Salmon Seeker, etc. Most are sizes 5 through 6 1/2. Of course most are of the brass, brass/chrome, copper, type that have tarnished. Are you going to sandblast them and try to re-chrome, or gold dip them. I would be really interesting in doing some horse trading on this project if I could get some of the spoons back. They are doing me no good right now. Anymore, I only use chrome or gold plated due to the constant maintenance problem of the other finishes. Let me know.
